Bosque County, Administrative division in central Texas, United States.
Bosque County encompasses 1,003 square miles of territory, with the Bosque River flowing through its center and the Brazos River forming its eastern border.
The Marqués de San Miguel de Aguayo named the Bosque River during his 1721 expedition, marking the first European exploration of the region.
The county maintains the Bosque County Collection, which functions as a research center dedicated to preserving local documents and historical records.
The Justice of the Peace office in Meridian handles class C misdemeanors, small claims cases, and provides electronic payment options for court fees.
The county conducted its first election in 1854 using three ballot boxes, with one placed at the Election Oak, which remains a significant local landmark.
